Truthfully How Cam Anyman In The Sport Of Boxing Be Called A Ducker Or Scared?

beieve me i have been sayin this **** for awhile...it is business and none of the fighters are scared...PBF does not FEAR AM...why would he....he has been fighting since he was 3...he has more rds in the bank than all of ESB combined...it is not fear it is business

 

Margo was a nobody then...he didn't duck him he just didn't feel it was a competitive fight and he had oscar coming up for moe money

 

Not only did May duck Margarito then - easy work , D level, I'll fight anyone as long as Bob shows me the money - he is still in the process of avoiding Margarito, that's what this entire sham retirement is all about - ducking the Margarito-Cotto winner. May is smart, he knows Margarito will walk through his pitter patter, hunt him down and put on tremendous relentless pressure. He knows how confident and hungry Margarito is. He simply does not have the confidence or self belief to deal with it. Hence, he is scared to suffer what could be a very brutal beatdown at the hands of Margarito. No amount of money could ever erase it.

So at the end of the day, if you're not sure you can beat 'em, DUCK 'em!

 

Nobody should be called scared, everyone that gets in that ring has huge cojones. A lot of disrespectful, small-minded armchair warriors on these message boards.

 

This isn't a schoolyard dumbass. Grow up.

 

First of all I am a Williams fan, what that has to do with this I don't know...

This thread is based on a premise that getting in the ring takes courage, which one does not doubt. However it also assumes that one act of bravery (entering the ring) nullifies any fear.

Worth noting is the fact that there is more to "fear" than having ones face beat in, during the course of and after a boxing match.

Many fighters fear losing bouts...championships...television dates...and title opportunities to name a few.

A loss can put a fighter's financial security in jeopardy, and cause other related future disappointments.

To say that no fighter today fears these things, means you haven't considered it...or you haven't talked to very many fighters.

Certain fighters and/or their management "fear" bouts against opposition they are not likely to win against...not simply due to cowardice over serious bodily harm...but much more due to the economic ramifications of such a result.

 

Every human except for probably Bernard Hopkins, feels fear at certain moments in his life, some more than others. it his human nature and natural.

 

You are totally wrong here
Just a couple of examples

1.. The way Riddick Bowe blatently renaged on an agreed deal to fight Lennox Lewis after he saw him totally demolish Razor Ruddock as well as remember Lewis TKO ing him in the olympics. Bowe was scared chitless of Lennox and DUCKED him.
2.. Oscar delaHoya making the bragging statement " I want the winner of Cotto-Margarito so I can go out in a blaze of glory"
Then he saw Cotto's face after Margarito beat the living crap out of him and DUCKED him
What was his excuse?? Oh yeah " My mexican fans wouldnt like me fighting Margarito"
ROFL oscar has no mexican fans.
He just doesnt want his pretty face mauled by Margarito
Thats just two BLATENT ducks
I just notice your incorrect statement Fraud NEVER EVER maqde any offer to Margarito he was too busy hiding

 

...except when he's fighting a non-Mexican fighter.

 

No need to really comment. The moment fighters step into the ring to punch someone else and get punched back, using words like "scared" when refering to them is ridiculous imo. Good thread wwm.

 

He's not wrong. I agree with walk with me 100% about the "fear" thing. It's ridiculous to say a fighter is "scared" of another. Sometimes, fighters (but mostly their teams/managers) think that a particular fight is dangerous-that the risk of losing is very high, so yes some might avoid a certain fighter at some point of their careers. But that's not because they're "scared" of them.
